obviously dislike both of these teams greatly. 

but think I would rather have Ohio State win just to say...."cool, congrats, but you couldn't beat us." 

And I think everyone dislikes Notre Dame in large part because they are akin to the Cowboys in the NFL, Yankees in MLB, or Lakers in NBA and talked about constantly even though they have largely sucked ass for most of the last 40 years or so.

I feel very confident in saying this....Ohio State is going to beat the absolute fuck out of Notre Dame. This is a really bad matchup for Notre Dame.

Not culturally, or the school, but ND’s team this year reminds me of Michigan.   Tough as nails and gritty as hell.   This will be a game.

No it won't. Riley Leonard is pretty bad at throwing the football. Michigan last year was a much better, deeper, more talented team than this years Notre Dame. Oh yeah not to mention they had a top 10 NFL draft pick QB'ing them and Riley Leonard won't be a top 10 CFL draft pick...

2023 Michigan had 15 guys drafted to the NFL I think- and their best NFL draft prospects were sophomores that couldn't even be drafted- Will Johnson, Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant, and Colston Loveland- who are all about to be 1st round picks in this draft. That team had 5 DT's in the rotation that will wind up being NFL draft picks in the top 3 rounds when said and done- with two of them being 1st round picks (Graham & Grant) - that's pretty nutty depth and talent at defensive tackle on one team- and that's where you win ball games- the trenches.

this ND squad doesn't have that kind of raw NFL talent over 2 drafts nor a QB anywhere in the same universe talent wise as JJ.

Ohio State is going to straight up decapitate Notre Dame.

I am talking about this years UM team- you know, the one that beat OSU a few weeks ago.

oh well, sure. but Notre Dame is better because they have an average QB whereas Michigan does not have one at all. 

this is a different Ohio State that lost to Michigan at home. they've handled everyone in the playoff- not going to short circuit at Notre Dame- arguably the weakest team they've faced. 

Ohio State went through the gauntlet- smashed SEC team Tennessee at home, smashed Oregon in the rematch in the Rose Bowl, and just took care of business vs Texas and won by 2 TD's. 

Notre Dame is going to get annihilated.

ND will do what they've done vs elite talent teams the past 35 years.  
Lose.
Just watch the 2012 NCG vs Alabama.  
Or the playoff game vs Clemson in 2018.  
Or the playoff game vs Alabama in 2020.  
This year?  They haven't played an elite team.  You could stretch and say UGA, but with their backup QB.  Penn State?  ND's mirror, totally imasculated by big-boy teams going back decades.  Literally, since 1994, their only big wins late in the  year were followed by losses to USC in the RB.  It's a joke.

ND's only chance is that it's very difficult to "get up" for 4 straight games (themselves included) and random chance happens to avalanche their way.  An ND win would be a statistical outlier, plain and simple.

Here's a fun stat.  ND is is only 4 points a stronger underdog than TCU was vs Georgia in 2022.  

That pretty much says it all.

Shit, actually, ND does have a chance.
